This series is brilliant! It’s scary, exciting, epic and is even being turned into a movie! The first few novels follow Tom as he is chosen to become the Spook’s Apprentice. As the apprentice, he’s going to be hunting all kinds of things that go bump in the night: eep! Aimed at nine-year-olds, this book is an awesome, epic fantasy that scared my pants off when I first read it! So for those of you who love the magic and darker side of HP, grab this book now!
Vampire Academy and Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
So, imagine if there was a school like Hogwarts - but for vampires, not witches and wizards. The Vampire Academy series (and its spin-off Bloodlines) is awesome, and it has another amazing school just like Hogwarts. It’s perfect for any teenager who wants to be constantly amused and entertained. There is action, friendship, danger, suspense and laughter within these books - don’t miss it!
Percy Jackson & the Olympians by Rick Riordan
Percy Jackson is definitely one hot fantasy series to read. Complete with another awesome school for gifted individuals, (Greek gods, Roman gods, Egyptian gods and (soon!) Norse gods) Riordan’s books are action-packed, hilarious and addictive. They’re definitely not to be missed!
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy
This is for younger Harry Potter fans and seriously shouldn’t be missed. This series has just finished, so you have loads of brilliant books to dig into. The protagonist, Stephanie, meets Skulduggery - who’s a sorcerer, a detective and also dead! Yes, she is taken on adventures and taught magic by a witty, hilarious skeleton detective in this brilliant series.
